🟢BREAKING NEWS 🚨Liverpool owners FSG respond to ‘serious’ record-breaking  With an estimated value of $6b (£4.6b) from Qatar 🇶🇦 Billionaire

Fenway Sports Group has owned a majority stake in Liverpool since 2010 and has addressed rumours that it’s set to expand its portfolio with an NBA franchise.

FSG led by Henry have responded to claims they’ll expand into the NBA

Liverpool’s owners, the Fenway Sports Group, have refuted claims that they are ‘seriously considering’ a bid to acquire the NBA’s Boston Celtics. The Boston-based consortium, headed by John W. Henry, acquired a controlling stake in Liverpool in 2010 and also own the MLB’s Boston Red Sox and NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins.

Despite sometimes being on the receiving end of fan-based criticisms, FSG has brought success back to Anfield through astute transfer dealings and the particularly clever appointment of manager Jurgen Klopp, who guided Liverpool to Premier League and Champions League glory under their stewardship.

Any prospective ownership group eyeing an entry into the NBA would need to dig deep into their coffers, however, with the acquisition of an expansion team or a franchise like the Celtics likely to exceed £4billion. This has seemingly put the firm off an approach.

Over the summer, circumstances seemed to favour FSG making a move into professional basketball. Following their Larry O’Brien trophy victory, the Cs were put up for sale by their majority ownership group, led by Wyc Grousbeck.

With an estimated value of $6b (£4.6b) and located squarely in FSG’s New England territory, the New York Post reported that the company was ‘considering’ a bid for the record-breaking 18-time champions.

Any potential deal could see the Celtics become the most expensive team in the league’s history, potentially surpassing the record for the most expensive sports team in any league sold, set by the NFL’s Washington Commanders ($6.05b).

However, FSG CEO Sam Kennedy has dismissed such speculation, telling MassLive: “I don’t see it to be appropriate to talk about the Celtics today other than to say congrats on another world championship. But that’s not on our radar right now.”
